This thesis looks at motivational forces between work, development and responsibility. Especially the factors self-actualization and altruism. A narrative literature review is combined with a survey study to identify related findings and trends in literature and how these match the contemporary society and people's beliefs. It is found that the economic view of man as being uttermost selfish, is reflected in peoples' views of work-motivation, and even in people's view of 'the will to help'. However, this view of man cannot be motivated by recent psychological findings, and neither is it as visible when asking survey-participants more self-reflecting questions. The conclusion is that altruism is, for some reason, hidden away, but is an intrinsic part of human motivation. It is also hypothesized that a society which guarantees every citizen a basic salary, or other types of basic rights, with no counter performance required in return, can use higher motivational needs such as self-actualization and altruism to motivate a more prosocial and more creative work-force. \emph{keywords: altruism, motivation, volunteering, effectivity, responsibility}

Cada material existente poseen características que los diferencian unos de otros y que cumplen una función especifica en la naturaleza. A dichas características también se les pueden llamar propiedades. Hay propiedades que dependen de su composición atómica. Una de ellas es la resistividad. En el presente reporte se determinará la resistividad de un cable cuyo material es desconocido y con dicha resistividad se determinará el material del alambre. Se realiza esto utilizando la ley de ohm mediante la medicion de el voltaje y corriente en diferentes distancias en un alambre aislado. Mediante esto se obtendrá una resistencia y por lo tanto su resistividad.

C/2012 S1 or Comet ISON, also known as Comet Nevski- Novichonok was a sungrazing comet discovered on 21 September 2012 by Vitali Nevski and Artyon Novichonok. The discovery was announced by the Minos Planet Centre on $24^{th}$ September. \\ This is an investigatory project to study about the orbit of Comet ISON or C/2012 S1. C/2012 S1 implies, a comet found in 2012 on the first of September. The project aims to find the position of the comet before and after perihelion, with perihelion distance and some other position and velocity.

\noindent It was required to measure the focal lenghts of different lenses that are in the optics laboratory, each one of this lenses have a thoerical focal lenght provided by the fabricant; to measure and check these lenghts an experimental arrangement was placed with a rail mounted to place the lenses, a laser and a screen. The focal lenghts were measured and checked succesfully, leading us to the image formation of each lens using the same arrangement, but instead of the laser, an halogen ligh source was used. The different images and magnifications were obtained due to different distances of the lamp placement.

Quantum Mechanics was first conceived at the turn of the twentieth century, and since has shook the foundations of modern physics. It is a radically different viewpoint from classical physics, which works on the macroscopic scale, in contrast to quantum mechanics' microscopic domain. Though at first it was heavily debated by members of the scientific communit, it is and has been both theoretically and experimentally verified by the likes of Einstein, Heisenberg, Shr\"{o}dinger, to name but a few. This being said, it is still an incomplete theory, and has yet not been concretely proved, despite strong experimental evidence for its truth. The aim of this report is to introduce the field of quantum mechanics, and to investigate the notions of conservation/symmetry, familiar from classical mechanics. The transformations we consider here are parity/space-inversion, lattice translation and time reversal. We will build a knowledge base by analysng the operators that represent these transformation within a quantum mechanical framework. This paper is presented for an audience that has completed a mathematics degree course up to and including second year. The specific feilds we draw upon include differential equations (MA1OD1, MA2OD2, MA2PD1), linear algebra (MA2LIN), and dynamics (MA2DY). These modules are assumed to be prior knowledge.
